Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Give a man a crazy ass basket and a sacred lake and well, apparently he still only eats for a day.

@MycroftHomlz There are so many reasons "local government" can't/won't help in many African countries. To understand we first have to try to put aside our First World mindsets.

The first is that everyone in the impoverished countries are in continual power struggles thus there is no solid government to speak of. We often see kids with AK-47's because one faction came to him while he was out playing and said "Fight with us and you will get food and clothing, if not you and your whole village will die." Unfortunately a massive number of people are going to suffer at either decision that child makes.

The second is most of those same countries are in debt to the World Bank. So when a stable government is put in place the first thing the World Bank takes away is social assistance programs. The World Bank cares about one thing, it's "mutha fu*king money". They don't care how or why they get it. Africa has comparatively few natural resources for export and the ones they do have they either don't have the technology to harvest (oil), are owned by DeBeers (diamonds) or run by Christopher Walken (gold).

There are many other factors but these are some of the biggest reasons why there are no government programs. Thus it is left up to you and me. Or if that sounds to big a task we can always let the big businesses in to take care of them. They probably aren't that greedy, right? *cough Goldman Sachs

Wow almost didn't recognize him.


Until he opened his mouth and spoke... then BAM.

Annie Hall
"Just about everyone's favorite Woody Allen movie."


Annie Hall is great (and Walken was great in it), but this clip is from the Anderson Tapes, from 1971. Not sure if you were answering zor's question or just randomly bringing up Annie Hall, but I figured I'd clarify.

Is there anything more annoying than a self-absorbed knobhead who thinks he's funny but isn't?


>> ^Tymbrwulf:

The commentator made this unbearable. I had to will myself to keep watching this just because it was Walken. Then, I realized, that most of the items on this list are not even awkward at all...
The hell did I just watch?


I will agree this isnt his best video. Look at his super mario brothers movie review. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/187-super-mario-brothers-the-movie
